During the past decade there has been considerable interest in the effects of strain, whether controlled or unwanted, on the properties of semiconductors/semiconductor microstructures. Such a strain can create significant alterations in the electronic band structure and vibrational modes of the system. For the electronic states energy gaps and effective masses are influenced and in some instances degeneracies are removed. Controlled strain can be an extremely powerful tool for modifying the band structure of these materials in a useful and predictable fashion to produce new phenomenon and devices. This talk will review deformation potential theory for electronic states (=0 and =o) and vibrational modes (~0) of bulk material, piezoelectric effect, the influence on quantum states (band offsets, light- and heavy-hole splittings, polarization effects, etc.) process-induced strain, stressors to form quantum wires, etc. Specific examples of each phenomenon will be given, including some new and novel applications. Also various measurement techniques such as photoluminescence, photoluminescence excitation, spectroscopy, modulation spectroscopy, spectral ellipsometry, Raman scattering, X-rays, TEM, near field scanning optical microscopy, etc. will be discussed.
